Can relate a lot to that. You probably WERE in love with her. It’s just when we’re on a drug like Suboxone, or any mind-altering drug for that matter, we really are different people. The person you were on Sub likely loved your girl. Only when you came off it, you changed into the YOU without opioids in your system. You would likely have had to learn to love your girl all over again, or moved on.
I know this all too well. Having bipolar, I’m virtually a different person from week to week. I can come to love someone when my mood is a certain way, but feel totally detached and attracted to another kind of person completely a week/day/month later. It can make things hard.
You are doing REALLY well. Keep it up man, and don’t lose sight of the prize! A real good, healthy rewarding and happy life for yourself is there if you keep putting in the work.
